My money is on it being Matt Olson.
I would love to see a boosted up card of someone like Matt Olson than another Ohtani card.

I wouldn’t count on it. He already had a low 90s POTM and he will most likely get a Finest. Unless they give him another POTM with pitcher primary, but I think they’re good on Ohtanis for now just because of the content that’s already been released.
I mean don't they have to do whoever the MLB chooses for AL and NL MVP for the month? I was under the impression that's how it works.
Not even a little bit. It’s all up to SDS

I'm surprised there aren't more comments about Schwarber. He's batting .293 with a 1.151 OPS and 15 homers which I believe is the most ever in a single month in MLB history. Matt Olson is going off but I think Schwarber definitely deserves the lightning card.
-
Of the top 5 in WAR this month, Schwarber is the only from an NL team so he’ll probably be the lightning card or at worst the penultimate card. Correa is the MLB leader for the month so he’s an option as well for Lightning. Of the top 10 in WAR, I’m crossing off Vlad Jr, Mullins, Ohtani and Tatis for potential cards based on previous cards/ live series ratings.
On pitcher side of things, possible options for the SP cards are Luis Garcia and Sean Manaea. Of the RP cards, probably Brad Hand or Kimbrel get the nod.

15 HR's all in his past 17 games. Interestingly, no more than 4 RBI in any game, but he did get to 4 a few times, including his 3-HR game.

Matt Olson sucks and so does his swing. That'll make it three months I don't lock in for lightning.

@Collin_SDS_PSN ......It's TIME to break your own SDS "UNWRITTEN RULES." Give Shohei what he and we deserve......a juiced two way June POTM Card! That April POTM card doesn't do him justice. You can give him a 99 finest in November....give him a 97 or 98 for now : )

Meh I’d rather them not. He’ll get his card eventually and his 89 is plenty good right now if you parallel it.

What i love about the Lighting card is we get players like schwarbs who most likely will cool down after the all star break. For one month you can be the best player on the planet.
Ohtani is a special, special talent. He will get a 99 this year forsure but schwarbs deserves the monthly

Why not both : )

Schwarber and Schoop are the only choices...
-
I’m just hoping for an Austin Gomber. Make him the lowest card, I don’t care! I need another pitcher badly!
-
If the POTM lightning card isn't Schwarber, who has 16 home runs in 18 games, 16 of which are in the month of June, then I have no idea how sds comes up with monthly award cards.
-
I’d like to see a Bryan Reynolds card.
-
How can it not be Schwarber?
-
I think its gonna be Schwarber but if he doesnt get the lighting at least the 94 overall range
-
Schwarber is doing things that haven’t been done in a long time, If ever. He is the hottest hitter in baseball and he never gets high diamond cards. Would love to see it

I do agree that it will likely be Schwarber, and he is VERY deserving (although he still cant hit LHers and he will only really have any value IF he has a C secondary (where he has literally played in 1 Game Since the 2017 season)......but Ohtani is doing something that hasnt been done since the days of Babe Ruth. He has a 13 HR and 1.300+ OPS in June (.150 more than Schwarber, and as a pitcher in june, 4 starts, 2 wins, 23 IP, just 5 walks and 32 K with a 1.08 WHIP (he has 1 more start tonight as well)
